METALLIC ROSETTE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,094, dated December 10, 1889. Application filed September 28, 1889. Serial No. 324,728- (No model.)

. I T 0 all whom at may concern:

Be it known that I, LONGLEY LEwIs Sirens- DORPH, a citizen of the United States, residin at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Rosettes, of which the following is a specification, referen ce being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention is designed more especially for use in connection with metallic ceilings having panel-strips to coverand ornament the intersecting points of said strips, but may be used in other connections, as will more fully hereinafter appear.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows the application of my invention in an operative position as applied to a metallic ceiling. Fig. 2 is a perspective view, on an enlarged scale, of a rosette inverted, showing the mode of connecting the same to the panelstrips; and Fig. 3 is a side or end view of said rosette and panel-strips in an operative position.

The center embossed portion of each rosette may be made to represent any conventional figure oremblem, and is provided with the lateral extensions A, having inturned flanges a. The metal employed is preferably of a good qualityof thin sheet metal, in order that the locking-flanges a may be readily bent and locked to the panel-strips at their intersection.

My improved rosette is preferably attached and locked to the panel-strips B after the latter have been nailed to place, said strips being provided with flanges inturned inward at an acute angle to the face of said strips, said inturned flanges on the strip serving to strengthen the latter and at the same time afford a locking-surface tor the flanges a of the rosette. As shown in Fig. 2, the panelstrips do not cross each other and need extend only a short distance within the extensions A of the rosette.

, hen it is desired to apply the rosette to a ceiling-strip along the outer edge of the ceiling, all that is required is simply to cut oit one of the extensions A, as shown at lower left-hand corner in Fig. Land also at the top of said figure, and when desired to attach the rosette where but two strips intersect, as in a corner, two of the extensions A are cut away, as shown at the upper left-hand corner of Fig. 1.

The ad vantages of my improved metallic rosette over those which have to be retained by nails or screws lies in the fact that, first, my improved rosette can be attached to the panel-strips without the use of nails or screws, saving the cost of the latter; second, the symmetry of the embossed figure is retained, not being marred by nail-marks or indentations where the nails are usually driven.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A metallic rosette having lateral extensions A and inturned flanges a, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

2. A metallic rosette having lateral exteusions A, the latter having the flanges a, in combination with the panel-strips B, having flanges b, as set forth.
